A spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization threatened on Monday to assassinate Itamar Ben-Gvir, the right-wing nationalist Israeli lawmaker who will be the first “Minister of National Security” when Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is formed.

The terrorist spokesman said that Ben-Gvir would “share the same fate as that of Rehavam Ze’evi,” the right-wing lawmaker who was assassinated at a Jerusalem hotel in 2001 while serving as Minister of Tourism.

It’s far from the first time Palestinian terrorists have threatened to kill Ben-Gvir, a hardline nationalist who insists on Jewish sovereignty and expelling any Arabs who are disloyal to the Jewish state. Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency says it foiled a Hamas attempt to assassinate Ben-Gvir in May of this year.

In response to this latest threat, Ben-Gvir called for the speedy establishment of the new right-wing government so that he and his colleagues could get down to the business of “crushing the Islamic Jihad.”
